OUR PARIS LETTER.
PARIS. August 24th.

The Women's Rights League, has
held its annual meeting in the Tenn
pie. of concord, lent by the Free
Masons for that purpose. The
"Oratress" Of the evening, was
Maddle. Barberouse, q noli me
tangere lady. She stated, that out
of 81 municipal councils in France,
81 adhered to the objects of the
society, and would accept the
oratresses, the League would dele
gate to address them. Maddle. then
went at her text-"the subjugation
Of woman, she maintained, was to
destroy all religions. Then again,
women and girls of the period were
mere sewing machines. Rich girls
were simply fools, good, only for
bringing grist to converts. Woman
is not an intermediary between man
and animals; she ought to be a
human being, and the equal of the
he-critter. Mr.. Jules Alex, who is
the pillar of ore of all the philan-
thropies past, present, and to come,
said, woman could not be free, so
long as free-love was interdicted. A
male biped drew attention to the fact
that there were many young ladies
present, and to weigh language: a
score of sweet voices urged him to
get out: two parasols were levelled at
him, and one stout, indiotish looking
sister limited, he was brute. He
took up his hat, and smiled a fare
we'll. Mr.. Alex further urged the
necessity of "harmonizing the mas
culine and feminine worlds" and
deplored the tendency of the times,
to build galleries to preserve fossil
Used bones, stuffed animals, and
impaled insects, but no halls to
allow of wemen expressing their
wrongs.
The de Melville-dragoon officer,
and de La Bruyere-editor, duel,
ended very tragically: one man, spit
the other with the foils: only the
latter had been stepped before being
used in carbolic acid, the lung
wounds would have proved mortal.
Both adversaries had to be carried
to the nearest house to be examined,
and they now lie, almost side by
side, on perhaps their death beds.
The theatrical season has re-
opened, by of course the Coincide
Franchise; spectators did not go to
reese the cid and Molieres Pre-
cienses, but the new iron drop scenes,
and some changes to facilitate the
public bestowing their patronage
prematurely on crematorium. The
manager forget to put up very
common notice. "Take care of the
paint" Some persons must have
been held to wall-seats like
sucker to a stone. The proscenium
was painted to represent the Palais
Royal Gardens in olden times, with
busts of Corneille, Moliere, etc., in
the distance. But the point is, will
the drop, drop, when life neces-
sity? the doors have been re-hung
so that in scare, they will
open outwards, not shut inwards.
There is more room to reach
box seats but as for the pit, the
occupants would run the danger
of being incinerated, just as ever.
The safest theatres in the city, are
Guignols in the Champs Elysees:
there you may be wet, but impossi-
bled to be calcined-save by the
| sun.
A writer draws attention to the
great drawback the battles of the
future will labor under, by the gen.
eral use of powder, which when fired
off, will cause no noise, and emit no
smoke, or consume the latter, as in
the case of factory chimnies.
